BALTIMORE —

Those who are looking for something to do after the excitement of Preakness this weekend can check out the recently revived Art Outside festival Sunday in Druid Hill Park.

The event will feature a new exhibit: Baltimore's first and only art truck. Artist Shawn Theron said he got the idea for it nearly a year ago.

"I was looking at this food truck and I thought to myself, 'Wow, what an amazing thing. We could take and turn this into an art truck.' And a little light bulb went off," Theron said.

The Sogh Art Truck will make its debut at the festival. Theron will be one of more than 80 Maryland artists with work on display that's for sale, along with entertainment and food. The festival is meant to bring people together to celebrate great art.

"That's the bottom line -- trying to give to artists in Baltimore. We have a burgeoning art community in Station North, MICA, all around town, trying to give them a chance to exhibit their work to the public and to bring the community together," said Art Outside organizer Barbara Shapiro.
